That night, Wu Zheng went to Mrs. Zhongyi's mansion.

"Welcome to His Highness the King of Wu." Gao Guiying, who received the notice, took his people to the mansion to welcome him.

Looking at this old lady Xu and Gao Guiying who was still handsome, Wu Zheng smiled politely: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and your wife's style is still... I have no other intentions when I come here this time, I just want to chat with her and have some gossip."

Gao Guiying was quite straightforward. She smiled cheerfully and said humbly: "Your Highness is busy with all kinds of things every day, so it is not easy to come to our mansion... Guiying couldn't ask for it. Your Highness!"

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "It seems that my wife is scolding me for coming less..."

The two of them talked and laughed all the way and entered the main hall of the mansion together.

After a lot of noise, Gao Guiying directly got to the point, "Your Highness is busy with affairs, I think there must be something important to discuss today, right?"

"Madam is wise." Wu Zheng smiled and lowered his head and sipped the tea, but did not continue to talk.

Gao Guiying's eyes flashed and asked with a smile: "Your Highness is on the battlefield and wins every battle, so that the soldiers and civilians of Jiangnan regard You as the God of War... But today your Highness wants to speak but stops, which is not in line with the reputation of the God of War."

Wu Zheng raised his head and looked at Gao Guiying and said, "I really want to tell you, but when I really met my wife, I don't know where to start."

Gao Guiying suddenly laughed and said generously: "What's there to say? If someone else hears this, he will misunderstand... He thinks that your highness is going to be detrimental to me."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised. The woman in front of him must not be a well-educated woman, but the cleverness in her words made Wu Zheng speechless for a moment.

Although Wu Zheng did not mean to be unfavorable to Gao Guiying, the purpose of this visit was very clear, that is, Guangxinwei.

The regime came from the barrel of a gun. Wu Zheng, who came from later generations, forgot anything, and could not forget this famous saying of a great man.

If the 200,000 Northern Expedition Army were all under the firm control of Wu Zheng, it was indeed not entirely true. Guangxinwei was isolated under the rule of the General's Mansion and became an exception. In addition to having no external affairs, it had independent financial and judicial powers. However, the General's Mansion needed moderate supplies and assistance to Guangxinwei.

This is obviously an extraterritorial privilege, but it was also the one that the two sides agreed to reach a consensus before the loyal camp surrendered to the Wu Zheng. Simply put, it is equivalent to listening to the tune and not the propaganda. Of course, its power is slightly less, but it already has the flavor of being a vassal.

This was not because Wu Zheng did not consider it in advance. In fact, it was a helpless move at that time. At that time, there were still tens of thousands of Qing troops entrenched in Zhejiang, and Jiangxi was bordering Zhejiang. If the loyal camp helped the evildoer at that time, it would be a warrior to the general's mansion.

Therefore, Wu Zheng's idea at that time was that as long as the Zhongzhen Camp did not join forces with the Qing army, he could be a little more indulgent.

This led to Gao Guiying being named Madam Zhongyi (Mrs.) by the Yixing Dynasty, Li Guo and Li Guo were granted the title of Duke of Kui, Liu Tiren was granted the title of Duke of Wan, and Gao Yigong was granted the title of Duke of Ying.

This is extremely generous for a surrendered rebel army.

But now it is different. The reason why it is different is not that Wu Zheng resigned or that Guangxinwei has rebelled, but that the situation has changed.

The Qing army in Zhejiang has long been cleared out, and 80% of Jiangxi have been recovered. It is only a matter of time before the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong have been destroyed.

Then, a "unobedient" army was stored around him, which was extremely threatening to Wu Zheng, and even no less than the royal family.

The most important thing is that Guangxinwei is a little different. It has instantly expanded from 20,000 people to 50,000 people, which... is something that Wu Zheng cannot tolerate.

Seeing Wu Zheng silent, Gao Guiying slowly restrained the smile on her face, and said, "I am just a woman. If you have anything to make your Highness unhappy, I hope your Highness will not be guilty."

Wu Zheng nodded slowly.

Gao Guiying said seriously: "The Zhongzhen Camp is the old subordinate of the first husband. The first husband and the Ming Dynasty are irreconcilable. However, when foreign enemies invade, the country is destroyed, and the family is destroyed, the mountains and rivers are shaking, the first husband leaves his will to join the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Guo'er and a group of generals obey the last order of his husband, so that His Highness will take charge of the Zhongzhen Camp."

Wu Zheng nodded again to agree and praised: "The King of Chuang is a real hero!"

Gao Guiying said with satisfaction: "Your Highness is also a true hero! Your Highness turns the tide and builds more than 30 new dynasties with the land of Shaoxing Prefecture. The Northern Expedition Army drank horses and the Yellow River, which was praised by the world. Guiying was also convinced."

Wu Zhengzhan said politely: "Madam is over-reputable."

Gao Guiying changed his tone and said, "But Your Highness should know that Lianming is not the Ming Dynasty after all. Now half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River has been settled, and half of the Yongli Dynasty and Jianxin Dynasty are divided... I wonder if Your Highness, where do you want to put me?"

Wu Zheng was silent for a while and said, "Madam should know that the Great Western Army returned to Ming Dynasty and Li Dingguo was granted the title of King of Jin."

Gao Guiying said with a hint of sarcasm: "That is Emperor Yongli's mind like a sea. How dare you ask Your Highness, can Jianxin Dynasty grant the title of king to Guoer and other generals?"

Wu Zheng was silent twice, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "No."

Gao Guiying sighed and said, "Your Highness is a real person."

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you have to say nothing in front of a real person?"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"But although it is impossible to enthrone the title of king, Guangxinwei belongs to the Northern Expedition Army, and all its benefits are not under the guards. I don't understand what the wife and the three dukes have to do with each other? During the fierce battle in Jiangbei, the General's Office issued a second conscription order, granting only 10,000 personnel to Guangxinwei, but in just a few months, Guangxinwei recruited new people and captured old troops, and its troops increased by 30,000... Mrs., can you give me a satisfactory explanation?"

Gao Guiying said calmly: "Your Highness is too worried. This is just a move for us to protect ourselves."

"What's the solution?"

"At that time, Your Highness was trapped in Huai'an City for more than a month. The General's Mansion was helpless and issued two conscription orders in succession. The people of the government under his rule were upset... Your Highness should know that if Your Highness... there is an accident, we and Guangxin Guards will inevitably be excluded by the guards. Instead of being unable to protect themselves, it is better to increase their strength. Does Your Highness think this is wrong?"

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and exposes without hesitation: "What the wife said is very reasonable, but the fact is not the case. If it is just an expansion of troops, the wife's reason is barely reasonable. However, without the permission of Gu and General's Mansion, Guangxinwei attacked the west without authorization. This may not be explained by self-protection alone, right?"

Gao Guiying hesitated for a moment and looked at Wu Zheng. After a while, he said: "I said, if your highness is really unexpected, in order to avoid being controlled by others, Guangxinwei can only expand its land and population to increase its own strength. What's wrong with this?"

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "This is also reasonable... But now, Gu is safe and sound, right in front of his wife. Then, according to the worries he said no longer exist... Should Gu ask Guangxinwei to withdraw the organization and subscribe Fuzhou, Linjiang, Yuanzhou and other places to the Zhili of the General's Mansion?"
